Gary
Margi & I went to the Grenada ASPCA Monday afternoon (April 4th) to again look at puppies. We found one that we think might get to be medium size, is a female & young, so she's easier to train and acclimate to the boat. The vet estimates her age at 3-4 months but said we can tell better by seeing when her adult canine teeth grow in (about 6 months of age).

She's still a bit unsure of the boat and riding in the dinghy but we're sure she'll be fine as soon as she gets familiar with boat living.

Her name - after LOTS of discussion - is Compass Rose (Rose for short).

We're really happy to have her with us and look forward to many years with her.

About: Margi has wrapped up her tax returns and has now joined the boat. (Brad is back in Alaska - until next winter. Brad has lived in Alaska for the past 30+ years. He's now wintering in south Florida and is assisting on the trip to the eastern Caribbean.)
Extra:
We are taking my sailboat cruising through the Bahamas, then to the Virgin Islands followed by the eastern Caribbean (Leeward & Windward Islands). With the late start we go leaving George Town, we are working our way East & South. We will probably skip the Virgin Islands & the Leeward islands [...]
